Pet Food Pantry

Donate Pet Food

Due to the struggling economy, the Friends of the Manchester Animal Shelter has established a Pet Food Pantry for those pet owners in need. This program enables families to keep their pets while spending their limited resources on living expenses for themselves. FMAS is hoping, that by coming to the aid of these pet owners, they will be able to keep their beloved pets instead of finding them a new home, surrendering to a shelter or abandoning them. FMAS feels this program literally makes a difference between keeping a pet and having to give the pet up.

To be eligible for this program, owners must be low income (no proof will be needed) and the pets must be spayed or neutered. If your pets are not altered, we will arrange low cost spay/neuter for your pet.

We highly recommend you call the shelter ahead of time to make sure we have enough food in stock. Food may be picked at the Manchester Animal Shelter during our normal business hours.

Donations Welcome

We welcome cash donations for this program as well as dog and cat food (wet and dry) and cat litter. Food donations may be dropped off at the shelter or at our collection bins:
